About Us
We believe in enriching peoples' lives through music, and we're proud to play our small part in that massive endeavour.
We make audio interfaces, and that's all we do. It's the job of an audio interface to sit between you and your sound being shared with the world, and we're the best in the world at making that happen.
But what does it mean to make the best audio interfaces in the world?
The best interface should help you record your sound, exactly as it is. It should be ready to go when you are, never skipping a beat. It should be easy to use, removing pointless technical barriers that get in the way of you enriching yours and others' lives through music.
We want to help you do this. We want to make music easier to make. We believe in a world where all musicians are able to record their own sound with ease. If we can remove pointless complexity, and in some way, inspire you to record, enable you to do so and support you on your journey, then our work here is done.
Of course, we didn't always make audio interfaces. There wasn't always a computer! But those same principles applied.
Back in the 80s, we made consoles. 12 to be precise. Probably the best sounding consoles ever made. It's a good story and one that has made us laugh and cry. If you've got a spare hour, perhaps it will inspire you.
We're not alone on our mission. We have several sibling brands focussed on the same thing, but in different ways.
